North Turramurra update for 14 May
Muddy sections along the pipelines as usual. Main trail down through the valley from Clissold St Wahroonga to Stonecrop Rd Nth Turra still closed for repair work (tho' none happening today). Can get around that by taking the fire trail around to Macrae Place, then the sniggle through to below Samuel King Oval and along the pipeline track.
Do you have more information?
If you've ridden here lately please add a more recent report. This will be useful even if the condition is the same as updates expire after 30 days.

Bobbin Head update for 14 May
Some roadworks going on near the Jacomb Track intersection, but otherwise all good. Bottom three zigs (or zags?) still a bit eroded, so a bit of care needed if you haven't been down there for a while.

Oaks Trail Ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Glenbrook station carpark.
Meet at Glenbrook, catch the train up and ride back to the cars including the single track at the end.
Due to track work the trains are leaving 30 minute later then the time table. This puts the train leaving Glenbrook at 8:53 and arriving around 9:23am at Woodford.
***This is also only on if the trail is re-opened for tomorrow as currently it is closed due to back burning.***
Edit: Just checked http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/NationalParks/... and The Oaks is no longer closed.
Grove Opening Soon
Just a heads up Dirt Art has nearly finished the new and improved legal Grove Dirt Jumps.
The works should be completed within the next week or two!
Had a quick squiz and it has a main A line, B line and Kids/Newbies line.
All local Mountain Bikers/Dirt Jumpers should take a look as its amazing what they have squeezed into the site
Great work Dave,and the guys helping out with the build!
Thanks must also go to the council for allowing the rebuild and the dollars
Have you written to the Minister and senior DECCW staff yet?
Over 2 years of NPWS indecision on Mountain Bike Trails
Following up from NPWS issues - It's time for some letter writing!, here's what I just sent to the minister and senior DECCW staff:
Dear Minister and senior staff,
NPWS issues - It's time for some letter writing!
Although we have had positive engagement with NPWS staff in the last six months, more recently I have become concerned that things are stalling at government level and am less optimistic about the process that started last year (see NPWS Sustainable Cycling and Mountain Biking Workshop).
Seems I'm not alone in this thinking, as below is some information one of the NoBMoB advocacy crew put together.
The bottom line is, it's time to get a concerted email campaign going. We need to show the powers that be we appreciate efforts to date, but that concrete results on the ground (in the bush!) are what is needed.
Please, everyone, do not leave this to chance. Do not expect that everyone else will be writing and your little bit won't make a difference. As we saw with Manly Dam, every letter counts and you can make a difference!
Even if you only string a short paragraph or two together saying you enjoy riding and would like to see legal single track in the Northern Beaches that would help. If you have time to include some background and a personal perspective all the better.
Below are the addresses of the current minister (Frank Sartor) and some DECCW management that need to hear our message:

If No response by 4.00pm ride will possibly be cancelled and I will be heading off earlier, hopefully there will be some takers as I am keen to ride. It wont be a blistering pace just a nice social ride to enjoy the night.
